Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Movie Review
If you’ve already made up your mind about Star Wars, this review isn’t for you. Go ahead and move along, because if you’ve decided to love/hate it because of politics/gender/(insert stupid thing to care about with space wizards) then go elsewhere. I did my very best to leave all my preconceptions of Star Wars, other…

Guns, Lots of Guns A John Wick Chapter 2 Movie Review
Guns, lots of guns… wait, wrong movie… right? The first John Wick movie was a dark, gritty, story about revenge, heavy on gun work and with a surprising level of characterization. To top things off, when the YouTube video of Keanu Reeves doing gun training for the sequel aired, it was straight out awesome. Needless…

All your galaxies are belong to us… Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Review
I have to admit, the movie I was most excited about this summer was Guardians of the Galaxy. Why? Well, I had never heard of the comics, I don’t even read comic books. I didn’t know much about the characters or setting, just what I saw in the trailers… and what did I see…

Thor: Dark World Review
I’ll preface this by commenting that I grew up on action and even a few comic book movies… but I never read comic books. So while I’m sure there are some diehard comic book fans who know far more about Thor than me, well, that’s fine. I’m reviewing this as a movie, and also as…

Ender’s Game Review
In keeping with the general theme of this blog as a SF/F platform, I’m going to strictly limit movie reviews and comments. However, Ender’s Game being a major influence on me as a kid in me in book form, I think the movie deserves some attention as well. First off, let me clear the air…
